Also, they said to take him to the same small spot until he went to the bathroom and as a reward they would walk him. As far as the crate goes, every time they'd put him in the crate they would play nice music to get him used to being in there. He could only be in there for 30 seconds in the beginning but worked up from there. I've also seen them put treats or toys in the crate to entertain them as well. I hope it all works out for you. Good luck!! |
